NASAHubble caught a curious galaxy moving a little closer to us…⁣ ⁣ Because our universe is expanding, almost all of the galaxies we see in the universe are moving away from us. Messier 90, however, appears to be a rare exception.⁣ ⁣ The unusual staircase-like shape of this image is because the camera was made up of four different light detectors, one of which had a higher magnification than the others. In order to combine the images, the high-magnification image needed to be reduced in size.⁣ ⁣ Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, W. Sargent et al.⁣ ⁣ #NASA #Space #HubbleFriday #Galaxy
